[ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces] Janus Polymer/Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Membranes for Water/Oil Separation
A robust and simple method is provided to fabricate Janus polymer/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid membranes for oil/water separation. Starting from CNTs membranes formed by dispensing, hydrophobic poly (styrene) (PS) and hydrophilic poly(N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) were grated from different sides of the photo active CNTs membranes via self-initiated photografting and photopolym...

Probing polymer surfaces and interfaces using sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy- a powerful nonlinear optical technique
Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy has been proved to be a powerful technique which substantially impacts on many research areas in surface and interfacial sciences. This paper reviews the recent progress of applying this nonlinear optical technique in the studies of polymer surfaces and interfaces. The theoretical background of SFG is introduced first. Current...

Directly Probing Molecular Ordering at the Buried Polymer/Metal Interface 2: Using P-Polarized Input Beams
Previously, we developed several methods to use sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to probe buried polymer/metal interfaces in situ by depositing polymer films with different thicknesses on metal surfaces or sandwiching a polymer thin film between a metal surface and a fused silica window. In this study, we developed a new and easier method to directly probe the polymer...

Solvent quality affects chain conformational order at the polymer surface revealed by sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy
The surface sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopic spectra of PMA and PMMA films prepared from solvents with different qualities were found different. This suggests that the surface molecular structures of PMA and PMMA films were affected by the solvent quality. A simple phenomenological model was used to describe the chain conformational order at the polymer surface by co...

Illustrating consistency of different experimental approaches to probe the buried polymer/metal interface using sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy
In this paper, we demonstrate our ability to directly probe the molecular structures of the buried polymer/metal interface using sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. Spectroscopic data from different experimental approaches were compared and analyzed to deduce the molecular ordering information at a buried polymer/metal interface, i.e. the poly(n-butyl methylacrylate) (P...

[JPS Part A] Poly(vinylphosphonate)s functionalized polymer microspheres via rare earth metal-mediated group transfer polymerization
We demonstrate a facile, yet efficient method for the
functionalization of crosslinked polystyrene (PS) microspheres
with biocompatible poly(vinylphosphonate)s via the combination
of a UV grafting polymerization and a surface-initiated group
transfer polymerization. Self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization
of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate results in direct
photografting of poly(ethyle...

138. Speeding of Spherulitic Growth Rate at the Late Stage of Isothermal Crystallization Due to Interfacial Diffusion for Double-Layer Semicrystalline Polymer Films
In this study a unique phenomenon has been found for isothermal
crystallization of double-layer semicrystalline polymer films. It is
surprisingly found that there exists a speeding of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA) spherulitic growth rate for poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(l-lactic
acid) (PEO/PLA) double-layer films at the late stage of isothermal
crystallization, which does not exist for PLA/PEO blend ...

[Macromolecules] From Polymer Sequence Control to Protein Recognition: Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Lectin Binding
A novel, highly efficient methodology to synthesize gradient
glycopolymers has been successfully developed involving concurrent
enzymatic monomer transformation and reversible addition–fragmentation
chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. By synchronizing enzymatic monomer
transformation with polymerization, a continuous supply of the second
monomer (glycomonomer) is achieved during the...

[Chem. Comm.] Visible light induced fast synthesis of protein-polymer conjugates: controllable polymerization and protein activity
Herein visible
light is used to induce RAFT polymerization from protein for preparing
protein-polymer conjugates at ambient temperature. Polymerization is
fast and can be conveniently controlled with irradiation time. By
site-specific polymerization of NIPAm to protein, the protein activity
is maintained and in certain cases it presents an efficient
on-off-switchable property.
